No Metal in This Battle is an instrumental afro post-punk quartet that has earned a reputation for blending intricate rhythms and fluid, melodic bass lines reminiscent of the vibrant textures found in jazz, funk, and African music. Hailing from Luxembourg, this band has been captivating audiences since its formation, with a name that cheekily contradicts the common expectation of heavy metal music often associated with such a moniker.
Their musical journey is marked by a series of compelling releases that showcase their eclectic and dynamic style, consistently pushing the boundaries of instrumental music. Their 2021 release, "Wie Kraut und Rüben," reveals the band's deep exploration into progressive structures, boasting an ever-evolving sound that retains a sense of playful unpredictability. Earlier works like "Paprika" and "Ours," released in 2019 and 2017 respectively, weave together disciplined musicianship with bursts of improvisational energy; this is a band that knows how to lock into a groove while also allowing their music space to breathe and grow. “The Husky Tape,” dropped in 2015, serves as a testament to their ability to create compelling narratives through their instruments, a skill that has made No Metal in This Battle a standout act in the European underground music scene and beyond. Their live performances are particularly noted for their raw energy and synergy, ensuring an immersive listening experience both on record and on stage.
